Not a lot of visual differences although I like the new wallpaper, but
I liked the 16 wallpaper too.
One BIG nit for me was with CD/DVD burning. It would calculate the
checksum, burn, check the disc, but then it would give an error saying
it couldn't eject the disc, but the button worked and good 'ole eject
/dev/sr0 worked as well. This has been a problem since F15 but it
seems to have finally been fixed.
Thanks for a great release!

This is my first attempt at installing Hylafax. I have managed to install
6.0.6 from the tarball onto a brand new F17 system.
I am wanting to use this as an automated fax receive and forward system so I
haven't looked at the sending side of the system yet.
I'm also new to systemd having being used to old init based systems. So far I
have two problems.
1) Through googling I have managed to get faxgetty running and can receive
faxes if I first start the system by issuing the command
systemctl start faxgetty-ttyS0.service
However, if I reboot the services doesn't start automatically. The systemd
config file I've copied from the net and changed appropriately is:
[root@stan2 ~]# cat /etc/systemd/system/faxgetty-ttyS0.service
Unit]
Description=FaxGetty Start Modem ttyS0
[Service]
Type=simple
User=root
Group=root
Restart=always
ExecStart=/usr/local/sbin/faxgetty /dev/ttyS0
RestartSec=30
[Install]
WantedBy=multi-user.target
[root@stan2 ~]# ll /etc/systemd/system/default.target
lrwxrwxrwx. 1 root root 37 Oct 29
16:07 /etc/systemd/system/default.target -> /lib/systemd/system/multi-user.target
[root@stan2 ~]#
Can anyone suggest what I need to do to get it to run on startup please.
2) received TIF image is squashed vertically
The resulting TIF file looks correct except that it is squashed vertically, to
about half the height it should be. I have googled this and have found a
number of results where it says the problem is down to flow control and give
the resulting log entries. However I do not have any errors in the log file.

Any suggestions on how to fix this?

I quite stupidly unplugged my computer today when my foot got tangled in
the power strip. On reboot, I was notified
Device: /dev/sda [SAT], 8 Offline uncorrectable sectors
Smartctl tells me the problem is at LBA 2014551336 (this is a 2TB disk).
Following the info here
http://kaivanov.blogspot.com/2010/09/fixing-disk-problems-under-linux-wit...
I'm not able to determine what file might be sitting on this block.
tune2fs -l /dev/sda5 |grep Block
Block count: 472552448
Block size: 4096
Blocks per group: 32768
[root@sds-desk-2 ~]# debugfs
debugfs 1.42.3 (14-May-2012)
debugfs: open /dev/sda5
debugfs: icheck 235992741
Block Inode number
235992741 8
debugfs: ncheck 8
Inode Pathname
This suggests that the problem is not in a currently extant file.
I'm now trying the suggestion of writing from /dev/zero to a file in
/home while in single users mode. Given that I have 1.5TB to fill,
this could take a while.
Here's the question: If I just reformat and restore /home from a
recent backup, will the disk automatically deal with the sectors
pending reallocation?

Hi all
I have:
$ rpm -q bc
bc-1.06.95-3.fc15.i686
I was searching the web for bc funs to calculate cube roots
and other arbitrary roots. Almost all of the func I found
assume that bc has the built-in funcs l and e which take
a numeric arg.
Yet my bc has no such funcs.
Is the version above broken?

I have a Gateway T-6321 that I recently had to re-install Fedora Linux
v17 on. I've put just about everything that was on there from before
(Totem, Clementine...Thunderbird etc.) but when I try to play movies in
Totem or music in Clementine I get errors such as:
Clementine: - "Your GStreamer installation is missing a plugin."
Totem: - "A program requires additional plugins to decode this file:
The following plugins are required:
H.264 decoder
MPEG-4 AAC decoder
Do you want to search for these now?
My problem is when it searches for these it tells me they're already
installed? What is the solution for this kind of error? is there a file
I need? or a missing piece of this puzzle?
Thanx!

Hi folks.
I'm looking to create a fax gateway, either fax to email or fax to program.
I've googled this but everything I've looked at it at least 5 years old. I was
wondering what people are using these days and what's good now.
